A Solar Market Pathway for Independent Colleges in Virginia
- Council of Independent Colleges in Virginia, Bedford, VA (United States); Council of Independent Colleges in Virginia
Building on its history of facilitating collaboration among its members, in 2014 the Council of Independent Colleges in Virginia submitted a proposal for a United States Department of Energy Solar Market Pathways grant, a program of the U.S. Department of Energy’s SunShot Initiative. Fifteen CICV member institutions signed onto the proposal to increase solar energy use at Independent Colleges in Virginia, and the application was successful. The primary objective of the Solar Market Pathway for Independent Colleges in Virginia (SMP-ICV) project was to enable a statewide network of private colleges to plan for and jointly procure solar photovoltaic (PV) arrays for deployment on their campuses. While the primary goal of the project was to create a revolving joint procurement model to be implemented over the course of 5 years, the process itself was also important and brought significant value to the participating colleges and their communities. This report outlines the results of the project.
